john collins. >> some real wound up thunderstorms. didn't produce tornadoic damage but there was a tornado warning issued because of the potential for it. radar shows circulation but never made to it the ground. that area of storms that went through last night. but it's all gone now. off to the ocean. on the right of the screen, you can see the clouds from that departing weather. no radar echos in it though. too far away to be detected. there are a few clouds driting in from the west. there's a little piece of energy, or a little bit of a disturbance up in the great lakes that's throwing some clouds our way. but fair weather. that is a good term to describe what's going to happen this weekend. maybe a little on the cool side but fair. we'll talk about it on the insta weather plus forecast. >>> our big story this morning comes out of prince georges county wrshgs last night a jury did reach a verdict in the trial of two officers accused of beating a university of maryland student last year. >> jurors returned a split verdict. we have th

take a look at some of the graphics john collins has been busy putting together. you can see the offshore clouds and swirl. if it were not such a problem, if you could say it is gorgeous. it is an amazing storm system coming together. it has not transitioned fully from tropical to extra-tropical. we have been talking about how it will be a superstar. it is holding on to a lot of the tropical characteristics. it is starting to lose the wraparound convection. the higher clouds have diminished as it moves inland. still a powerful storm. these are the wind speeds. in the atlantic, the wind speeds died down. that is an estimate of where the eye was. it is racing ahead of the computer models. i think it is closer to shore. you can give a feeling for where the wind diminishes near the eye of the storm. 35 miles an hour in ocean city. 58 mile an hour gusts in delaware gusting to almost 60 in atlantic city. almost 70 near the eye of the storm. 54 mile an hour gusts at the air force base. the gusts are topping 50 miles an hour around the bay pushing on to the western shore.
